First bit of adversity has enter the grow room. My LST became HST and I snapped a branch! Took her to the ER and she got a cast. We'll see over the next 48 hours how it mends and see what happens. Now its time to face the music and let my gf talk to me about the subtle art of a gentle hand.

Day 28 from seed. So far so good. Transplanted 3 days ago into the final 7 gal smart pot, after noticing roots already popping out of the pot. She took it like a champ with a good feeding of MicrobeLife Photosynthesis Plus and Nourish-L. Looking forward to LST her the rest of week 5 and if she stays a bit bushy I may add a 6th week of veg on before the big flip. At the beginning of the fourth week she took a slight yellow hue so I've been feeding smaller waterings but upped them to once a day at light on. Color turned around within two days so we'll see if she's a drinker.
Interesting experiment coming up about CMH, I'm using one 315W too. I can't really consider 600W hps because the lamp distance of 60cm is annoying, and it's probably too hot to handle in my room. I may add some COB LED light, but I am very happy with the CMH bud. Looks similar to this one in structure (From my Critical XXL grow)
Hey bro! Awesome grow! I’m running in the Fastbuds iPhone contest , if you could stop by my 2xGSC-COCO journal and leave a comment I’d really appreciate it! Goodluck!
From the leaf damage on week 8 - it looks reminiscent of either a leafhopper (strip damage), or spider mites (pinprick damage). I just finished the same strain and they were susceptible to the same thing, esp the spider mites. Just keeping them in check is a chore (complete removal seems almost impossible), but it doesn't affect yield or degrade performance. Check the undersides of the leaves. I hold mine by the stem and rotate them 180. If you do find them, they'll look like dots - adults are easy enough to kill just by gently smearing the bottom side of the leaf, the eggs can be harder depending on how many there are. Sometimes I'd just pinch the whole leaf. Leafhoppers hide on the stems in the middle of the plant and will come out to eat at night.
Thanks for the info. I'll check them out tonight under a jewler's loop. But it seems to have more or less gone away, I haven't found any leaves over the past week or so that has similar damage.
